Which kind of brings me to the question... Which of the 2 trade pairs is more profitable for short term trading or it doesn't matter?

You would be completely be confused if you are trying to rely on checking out which pairs are on Bias.Just like on typicalforex market where some pairs are correlated and opposing.You can actually make profits if you do tend to short both of thembut if you are just choosing neither btc/stable coin or crypto/crpyto, since you have picture out how it moves when the trends starts to move then you can surely utilize it.

When BTC rise compared to fiat pairs, other alts usually increase in its fiat value but decrease in BTC value. If you trade in this wave, I believe holding BTC is more profitable. Usually, I just exit all of my alt position and then wait for BTC to consolidate because that's when alts started its move. If you can time it right, you can get decent profits.

When trading i noticed that when the BTC price rose, The price of all coins pairing with BTC slightly dropped as shown in the graph below.ETH/BTC price dumped when BTC rose towards 5K

On the contrary, the ETH/USDT trade pair price has mostly been on the rise as BTC was approaching 5K. In fact, the price rise is synonymous to BTC's price rise as seen on the graph below.

Bitcoin and Ethereum is a coin that is much better than the other coins, it can't be said to be stable but its movements can still be limited and we can still read the graph much more comfortably. Various news sentiments are very clear, different from other coins which often change without the existence of a cause and effect.

in a market, drop can also mean profit if you are a trader not a bag holder. for example you could have shorted ETH and make a lot of profit from that dump. or you could have simply pulled out, waited for the dump to end and bought back more coins in the dip.

not it was not, and you should look at the percentages not the shape of the chart. for example bitcoin went up a little more than 25% against USD while ETH went up a little less than 5% (because it was dumping hard against bitcoin) so technically you lost 20% profit on your money if you held ETH instead of BTC.

obvious answer is neither because if you stuck with bitcoin your final net profit would have been a lot higher.but the reality is that profit doesn't depend on these things but instead it depends on what you as a trader do in the market. price can shoot up 1000000% but you miss it or buy too late and only see the dumping side of it and lose money instead!

I would say that bitcoin pair usdt will be profitable. Why? Because the bitcoin price movement will go faster than ethereum and it could be your chance to make a profit in usdt. When bitcoin price is a rise, the ethereum price is down, but it's not always down. In one time, the ethereum price can get an increase too, but it's not too higher like bitcoin price. So I think you can choose bitcoin pair usdt for trade and see how much money you can make.

I focus more on which one is more profitable rather than pairing. We could actually gain more if we'll choose both. Sometimes being too analytical leads to confusion. Let's just be wiser and let's not just complicate things.

For day trading crypto to stable coin will be more efficinet because we can concentrate on only one coin and can cashout our profits into stable coins then reinvest it once the price dropped in my knowledge.But for long term you should invest on crypto to crypto pairs.

Trading pairs with stable coin will reduce your risk. ETH / BTC will bring great risks to you because when the market is red, you will suffer a lot because both values of ETH and BTC are reduced. But as the market grows, your money will increase many times. So you will decide whether you are a risk investor or a safe investor.

This is the main question of this thread, so which one is more profitable in your opinion? It is not about too analytical, but it is about preferences only imho.

It depends on the level of your experience, if you are experienced, the best solution would be Crypto to Crypto "BTC to BCH or BTC to USDT."Playing from the safe side is the best for newbie every "the least lost" and vice versa.The best for daily trade is Crypto to Stablecoin.

That is oversimplifying everything. It is not a black and white picture since there are a lot of gray areas in between in this scenario. It is possible to earn profit or succumb to losses while trading with both pairs which is why I cannot definitely say that one is better than the other here.

It all comes down to the manner in which you execute your trades at the end of the day.

Profit is Profit no matter what and it doesnt concern on what strategy you are using as long it do gives out some gains.

On point! Even myself wont really care at all or stress out too much on which pair you would trade up even do trade alts/alts will give you profit if you do know on what you are doing.Volatility will always be on concern as long you have this then you do always have the chance.

You need to pay attention to the market situation in this regard. But, if you want to evaluate the price of btc with usd, choose tether. I guess this is the graph of the last increase, and we knew that the money was collected from all alts and directed to btc.

In the end it depends how you trade (your style of trading) and how you can apply your trading strategies to a pair. Try trading crypto to stablecoins for a while and crypto to crypto for a while and make a decision which one's better for you. There's profit to be found in any pair, but the way you utilize your own skills to get the profit is what matters. I personally like to trade crypto to stablecoins for simplicity, but with the correct strategies crypto to crypto pairs can also be very profitable.

Exactly!Mr Alimand probably didn't internalize the question and just went ahead with a valueless comment.
